Ingredients:

• 16 ounces pureed pumpkin (canned or 1 lb fresh)
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (or 1 1/4 cups mashed)
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 3 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• Pepper and paprika, to taste

Method

Cook potatoes in water until soft through to a fork's touch. (Do the same if using fresh pumpkin; cook separately.) Drain and puree with a food processor, blender, mixer, or by hand. Add some chicken broth while pureeing (process 30-45 seconds with food processor). Transfer to large saucepan and add all remaining ingredients except paprika. Simmer 5 minutes and garnish servings with a dash of paprika. Serve with crackers.

Notes: Note: Perfect with Thanksgiving dinners. It's not too sweet or too filling.

Number of servings: 8
